Perhaps. I'm trying to be fair.

I've never owned any of his albums, but he's got a lot of songs that are really well-put-together. I don't care for much of his body of work, as derivative as he could be on occasion

Oh. I mean... did you see the full list of evidence thump?
I'm trying to be fair too. With that evidence the likelihood of him being innocent is close to nothing right?

Smooth Criminal is classic, the man could dance, and the mv was hot - dat lean. However, mj was a child molesting piece of shit. I doubt that he molested any children while he was belting out the hits, I can enjoy his songs regardless of that - genius is genius, but it isn't an all inclusive pass. A person can be good at songs and bad at life.

I never really liked his kind of music. But I agree with you on that. If we go down the path of damnatio memoriae, we'd have to include Lewis Carroll too. He's at least rumored to not having the cleanest thoughts when he wrote Alice in Wonderland for his child muse.
When I think of Jackson though, this is always at the forefront of my memory.

I'm a junkie for the subplot of the mini-movie intro/outtro. Plus, Vincent Price, I mean, cmon.....? They were way ahead of the zombie thing, on that one, lol.
